A centrifugal blower includes a stator housing. The stator housing includes a radial contact surface which makes contact with a casing in a radial direction, a circumferential contact surface which makes contact with the casing in a circumferential direction, and an axial contact surface which makes contact with the casing in an axial direction. With such configuration, it is possible to reduce the vibration of the blower by increasing a contact area between the casing and the stator housing. Further, the stator housing includes a heat dissipating surface. As a result, it is possible to efficiently dissipate the heat, which is generated from the stator, from the heat dissipating surface of the stator housing to the gas existing within the wind tunnel.
